There is only one of those i can see moving forward that would be comfortable not being around any longer.

I just like those 3 as long term pieces and think they can all play regularly now.
They have all performed admirably and will only get better with more experience.
Valimaki, Hanifin and Gio are either ahead of the regular development curve for dmen or are elite. Meanwhile Andersson and Hamonic are much needed RHed shots that contribute in many ways. Hamonic is a gritty defensive dman that contributes all over the ice. Andersson is a young up and comer that has a good shot.
IMO I think the team will have to eventually decide between Kylington and Brodie.
They don't necessarily need to decide next season as they can run with all 7 but at some point a decision will need to be made.
Kylington is much younger and has similar attributes to Brodie so I would trade Brodie if it came down to it.
